Flying Blue for business

Gold: enjoy travelling in comfort

Flying Blue Gold is designed for frequent flyers who expect comfort when they travel. You will benefit from an increasing range of advantages and discounts, and you will earn 75% more Award Miles on your flights!

Requirements to become a Gold member

You become a Gold member when you have reached one of the following thresholds within 1 calendar year:

You have earned 40,000 Level Miles (60,000 in France and Monaco) on flights with one of the SkyTeam partners.

OR

You have made 30 qualifying flights with one of the SkyTeam partners.

Which threshold you reach first depends on your travel behaviour. When you make a lot of short trips, the 30 qualifying flights could be yours in no time. But when your destinations are further away, you might very soon earn enough Level Miles to become a Gold member and be able to enjoy the benefits!

Gold benefits on flights & flight-related services

For Gold members, Flying Blue just keeps getting better. Now, you earn 75% extra Award Miles on SkyTeam airline flights and you have access to an increasing availability of tickets when you book an award flight.

In addition, you enjoy complementary services that will make your trip more comfortable, such as: extra baggage allowance, preferred treatment, SkyPriority services, direct access from Privium parking P2 at Amsterdam-Schiphol and 50% discount on a seat in Economy Comfort. Gold enables you to travel more comfortably and in style.

Carry over Level Miles
On 31 December of each year, all Flying Blue Elite members, who have earned Level Miles above the Miles threshold required to maintain their current membership level, will carry over the surplus of Level Miles to the next year. This also applies when a higher level is reached. Members who have not maintained their membership level will not carry over their Level Miles.
